Summary
Time is a fickle thing.
One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.
Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.
In the blink of an eye you realize that you only thought you were old back when you were young because you were naive, you thought you knew all the world had to offer. But now you know the truth, because now you are actually old and you know you could never even begin to imagine to know all twists and turns of the universe.
Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.
And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.
